COFH game day post

If you’re a Nervous Nellie whose mantra today is “but South Carolina”, consider this:

Scoring Offense (ppg)

  • South Carolina:  24.2 (99th)
  • Georgia Tech:  17.5 (122nd)

Scoring Defense (ppg)

  • South Carolina:  25.0 (50th)
  • Georgia Tech:  30.6 (87th)

Yards per play (offense)

  • South Carolina:  5.30 (96th)
  • Georgia Tech:  5.00 (112th)

Yards per play (defense)

  • South Carolina:  5.44 (53rd)
  • Georgia Tech:  5.73 (72nd)

You tell me — is going +4 in turnover margin today gonna do it for the Jackets?

It feels like a Manball kind of day.  Let’s just hope nobody else wearing red and black gets hurt.

Have at it in the comments, peeps.

    “Manball” indeed…..but they better work on their passing game also (confidence, timing and etc.).

    I hate the nerd school. After the Sanks fumble that wasn’t game, several nerd students jumped in the back of my truck as I sat in traffic getting the hell out of there, another kind soul keyed the side of my truck. I hated them before that game, but now it is fully ingrained in me. And my son, who wasn’t even a glimmer in my future wife’s eye at the time

    The most interesting question for this game is whether Kirby uses it to work on the offense, or will he go with full manball mode. I’m hoping for the former but wouldn’t bet on it!

      Smart is a football coach with a football coach’s mentality. He isn’t assuming a win and instead he is going to plan on doing what his team does to win. That said, if he gets a comfortable lead I can see him using the second half to work on a few things.

    Gotta believe Kirby treats this as a controlled scrimmage. Everyone play loose, lots of substitutions, have some real fun ahead of a week of really tough work. D will play for the shutout and O should top 30.

    This game is important for our fan base. In a season of few comfortable wins and few ahead the rest of the year, this is the chance to get one and to show that GT can change coaches, but it’ll never change its inferior status. Here’s hoping for a shutout.

    As if the above stats weren’t enough, Tech’s rushing defense ranks 118th nationally (dead last in the ACC). This is the kind of day that even Kenny McIntosh should get a dozen-or-so carries.

    BUT … with Cager gone and LSU just a week away, Fromm needs all the game experience he can get working on his timing with the other receivers.

    Before today, I thought UGA had a chance against LSU. I no longer believe that. If you look at what everybody has done against Tech minus the three garbage teams, Tech surrenders around 250 a game at high completion rate and yards per attempt in the 7 yard range. I don’t want to hear excuses about the lack of talent or experience. Robertson is a 5 star and this is his 3rd year. ALLLLL the RB are effective in passing game. Tight Ends are not world beaters but they are good. I can only think it’s an OC thing.

    This team is the most talented suckfest ever. Watching them play is painful. GT wants it more. Half of the people on here still think this team is going to whip somebody. Incapable. Absolute coaching and execution shit show. Embarrassing. Pathetic. I am becoming convinced Kirby is clueless on how to fix shit. He just recruits and we haven’t done well in that regard lately, which coincides with the shit show we put on the field.

    See that! Kirby yelling at Herrien telling him to let me coach. He’s losing what’s left of this team.

      This team is lost and it’s apparent since after ND game. What went wrong? What was always wrong?

      Kirby gets blown out next week-and then no guarantees next year. What’s the narrative? Closer than CMR, but still no cigar?

  76. Missing 3 offensive weapons for part or all of the SECC seems like a recipe for an upset. Maybe the offense will step up.

    Sucks about Pickens but I don’t blame him. Swilling was hitting him in the facemask before he ever threw a punch. Pickens could have been smarter and not thrown a real right hook into his helmet, though. Hope his hand is ok. The injuries and getting baited into a fight and ejection against a shit team are why I’m ready to entertain dropping them if they aren’t gonna get better. Can’t avoid injuries but Tech likes to bait.
